Windy Day!

WOW! The wind is really blowing hard today! The wind is always higher during the dry season. However, this year there has been less wind than I remember. Maybe today it is trying to make up for previous days.

Down here near Las Tablas the wind has been blowing at 40-60 knots most every day the past 5n weeks. The good news is we haven’t used the AC in 2 months. The nights are chilly and the days are hot but the wind keeps it fairly cool. I’ve been here about 7 years and don’t remember the winds being this strong for this long.

Yep…that’s about right…32-63kt winds here. We lost a gigantic tree here the other day and it has cleared most of the tiles and tin roofs off that aren’t anchored correctly. Many of our coco palms have suffered and our banana and platino plants as well.
